  • Guys, please stop downvoting the guy- well water contians more minerals and salts and things that give it it’s distinctive taste (and as someone that grew up with well water, lemme tell you, it can DEFINITELY have a taste- hell, a buddy of ours from school could barely drink it cause he said it tasted like blood- high in copper and iron I think?)

    Filtering water makes it taste vastly LESS like well water! So if that’s what you’re going for/wanting, filtering is the worst thing you could do.

    And yes, depending on well water, it may have more salts dissolved in it, which could help with hydration in the same way Gatorade does.






  • It’s a known and proven shit solution. Have any of you ever actually used hall effect sensor joysticks? The centering is worse, the polling rate is far worse, they use a ton more power (already a limited resource in the individual joycons) and most of all they get absolutely screwed by electromagnetic interference… Interference like, say, magnets holding the joycons on.

    Ifixit is kind of full of shit here- the joysticks are the “same” only in that it’s using the same general design as every other non-hall effect sensor joystick that’s ever been used and most of those didn’t have problems with drift.

    It’s not the same part as the original joycons, so the issue could be fixed- from what the switch welcome tour was saying, it seems pretty likely in fact.









  • Yeah, it’s got doom. The frame rate is fairly useless, much like the rest of the device it seems.

    Latency is terrible (as in 1-2 seconds to respond to a single key press even in a text editor, let alone doom) and the screen is limited to, iirc, 1 million refreshes total before dying. At roughly fives hours of use per day with a refresh once/second, you’re looking at 55 days before the screen burns out.
